Centrosome

Organelle that control flagella and celia and involved with cell replication and is composed of two centriole along with protein matrix

Chromosome

Threadlike linear strand of DNA and associated proteins in the nucleus that carries the genes and functions in the transmission of hereditary information

Cilia

Slender protuberances that project from cell body that function to move extracellular fluids and small molecules

Citric acid cycle

Series of enzyme?catalized biochemical reactions that uses acetyl?coenzyme A (from glucose) and oxygen and produces ATP and CO2

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine that carries the genetic information in the cell

DNA

Two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine orcytosine and guanine that carries the genetic information in the cell

Endoplasmic reticulum

Organelles composed of interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae within cells that synthesize lipids and proteins

Exocytosis

Process by which a cell directs secretory or excretory vesicles out of the cell membrane

Flagella

Tail?like projections that protrudes from the cell body and functions in locomotion

Gene

Hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism

Glycolysis

Biochemical reaction involving the breakdown of glucose (6C) to two pyruvate (3C) molecules

Golgi Apparatus

Functions to process and package of macromolecules produced by cells into vesicles after their synthesis and prior to secretion

Krebs cycle

Series of enzyme?catalized biochemical reactions that uses acetyl?coenzyme A (from glucose) and oxygen and produces ATP and CO2

Lysosome

Specialized vesicle that contain enzymes. They absorb and break up cellular debris.

Microvilli

Slender protuberances that serve to increase surface area to aid in absorption and secretion

Mitochondria

Double membrane, oblong shaped organelle that generate most of the cell's supply ATP by TCA cycle

Nuclear envelope

Dobule lipid bi?layer membrane that encloses the nucleus and serves as the physical barrier, separating the genetic material from the cytoplasm

Nuclear membrane Dobule lipid bi?layer membrane that encloses the nucleus and serves as the physical barrier, separating the genetic material from the cytoplasm

Nuclear pore

Large protein molecules that cross the nuclear envelope that are used to transport molecules across nuclear envelope

Ribsome

Small organelle that functions in protein production and is responsible for processing the genetic instructions carried by mRNA

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Organelles whose membrane is continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope and is studded with ribosomes that manufacture and package proteins

Smooth endoplasmic reticulu

Organelle whose membrane is smooth and functions to synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration

TCA cycle

Series of enzyme?catalized biochemical reactions that uses acetyl?coenzyme A (from glucose) and oxygen and produces ATP and CO2

Tricarboxylic acid cycle

Series of enzyme?catalized biochemical reactions that uses acetyl?coenzyme A (from glucose) and oxygen and produces ATP and CO2

Vesicle

Bubble?like structure with at least one phospholipid by?layer that stores and transports cellular products within the cell

Villi

Slender protuberances that serve to increase surface area to aid in absorption and secretion
